Chapter 138: Competition
It says that the competition will be held the day after tomorrow, for a total of three days, and it will be held in a famous middle school in the provincial capital.
"Time is a little tight, you have to hurry up and prepare! Good luck in advance! ”
Gu Yun said smugly, with a smug sneer on the corner of her mouth.
Shang Xia didn't speak, nodded to Lao Zhang, and left the office.
As soon as she walked out of the office door, Shang Xia was stunned, and there was no shortage of eight members, standing at the door of the classroom waiting for her.
"Shang Xia, what happened? Did they do something to you? What's going on in the principal's office? ”
As soon as he saw Shang Xia, Tang Tang was the first to rush up, holding her hand and asking a series of questions.
Shang Xia took a group of them to the corner of the few people and roughly recounted what happened.
"Didn't they deliberately embarrass you, this English speaking contest will start the day after tomorrow, which means that you will leave tomorrow, where do you have time to prepare?"
In this era, dumb English is a common problem among students, Gu Yun proposed that Shang Xia participate in the English speaking competition, didn't this push her to hit the muzzle?
Tang Tang was anxious.
"It's okay, you just take care of your business, it's just that there may be no way to carry out the tutoring in the past few days."
"Don't worry, if you're not there, we'll be conscious!"
"Yes!"
No one wants to let down someone else's hard work, and no one wants to let her down.
Shang Xia was speechless for a while, but warmth swelled up in his heart.
The gossip between students always spreads very quickly, and soon, Mo Rou knew about it, and remembered to go with her, Shang Xia Haosheng persuaded him to stop him.
Lin Ran also knew, his lips pursed into a straight line, and he only said one sentence, asking her to remember to rub the medicine.
Before leaving the next day, Shang Xia sneaked out of the school and made a phone call to Shang Xiaohe, hastily explained the matter, and did not forget to instruct.
In addition to Shang Xia, Yangcheng No. 1 Middle School also had other students to participate in this competition.
Because most of the students in the third year of high school are busy with their studies, the students who participate are basically the first and second years of high school, plus a teacher with a happy personality, they are happy all the way to the provincial capital.
Although the time is very tight, the teachers who lead the team with food and accommodation have already been arranged, so Shang Xia is also happy, as long as he concentrates on preparation.
……
"Mo Rou! Someone is looking for! ”
Hearing someone calling, Mo Rou, who was plunging into the pile of books and nibbling on the book, suddenly raised her head and responded, "Got it!" ”
After Shang Xia left, she thought that it was other roommates who came to find her, but she didn't expect to see Lin Ran when she came out of the classroom.
Mo Rou looked dazed and pointed at herself, "Are you looking for me?" ”
"Yes, I'll talk to you about something."
On the side of the few people in the corridor, Mo Rou narrowed her eyes after hearing his intentions and said, "You mean, the two of us went to the study group to help?" ”
"Yes, if we help, Shang Xia will be much more relieved, and it will also avoid delaying the learning progress of the group members."
Lin Ran said firmly.
"Do you know what she's going to be tutoring for the past few days?" Mo Rou asked again, blindly helping, will only help more and more.
"I just saw the tutoring plan on her desktop, and I'm afraid she was so busy that she forgot to put it away."
Lin Ran pulled out a form.
Everything was ready, and the two hit it off.
"Yo, dare you to take over the study group, you really deserve to be her good friend!"
At this moment, a voice emerged, with obvious contempt and sneer in its tone.
Mo Rou still remembered Ling Wei, as soon as she saw that it was her, she knew that it was someone who was not good.
"What are we going to do, it doesn't seem to have anything to do with you, does it?"
Mo Rou said angrily.
"Yes, yes, it doesn't matter." Ling Wei was not annoyed, her face was still smiling, "I just kindly reminded you, it's your business whether you listen or not, the province won the first place in the English speaking competition, you really think anyone can win it!" Even if Shang Xia usually has excellent grades, she is not prepared for anything now, think about it, what chance can she have? ”
Mo Rou didn't speak, but her face was flushed.
Lin Ran lowered his eyelids, and his lips pursed into a straight line. "Why do you say so much if it's none of your business?"
Sensing the other party's malice, Ling Wei no longer was bored, turned around and left, and didn't forget to add a sentence before leaving.
"It's really funny that a person in the second class has to tutor others to study."
"You!"
Lin Ran hurriedly pulled the person back, "What others say is someone else's business, what we do is our business!" ”
Mo Rou calmed down and nodded in agreement.
After school, the two found the group members and continued to study with everyone.
Because there is a tutoring plan, Lin Ran has also helped with tutoring once before, so the two of them can be regarded as handy in organizing.
……
In the Chen family, only Chen Yougui is left.
Because I have to take care of my own daily life, I can't avoid running to the vegetable market.
"I said Lao Chen, I heard that your wife went out to open a store, she is really capable!"
The fish seller and Chen Yougu talked nonsense.
"Well, yes."
Chen Yougui gave the money, took the fish, and simply said yes and left.
Hearing that others were praising Shang Xiaohe, he felt uncomfortable.
"It's really rare to see a female protagonist like Lao Chen's family, and a male protagonist inside?"
The aunt of the vegetable stall who was sitting next to her and waiting for business heard it and answered with a smile.
"What do you say?"
Chen Yougui said impatiently, frowning and not having a good face.
"Eh, let's just talk casually, don't be angry, like your family, you must make a lot of money a month, it's too late for us to envy!"
The owner of the fish seller hurried to round the field.
"However, I'll say a little more, as the old saying goes, no matter men or women, as soon as they have money, they will become bad, Lao Chen, you have to be careful!"
The vegetable stall aunt added another sentence.
The two sang a double reed, and Chen Yougui was on fire when he heard it.
Chen Yougui glanced at the two of them fiercely, and walked away angrily.
After returning home, Chen Yougui pondered these two sentences, and the more uncomfortable he felt in his heart.
Although Shang Xiaohe makes money outside, the money he sends back every month is a fixed 500 yuan.
In this way, his heart is unbalanced.
Putting this aside, it was not the first time he had heard what he heard in the vegetable market during the day.
Seeing that tomorrow is a weekend, a thought flashed through Chen Yougui's mind.
……
The next day was about to start the game, Shang Xia glanced at the watch on his wrist, it was already twelve o'clock.
She dropped some eye drops into her sour glasses and turned to bed.
The students in the small beds next door slept soundly, talking in their dreams, grinding their teeth, snoring, and all kinds of things.
Shang Xia lay on the bed, without any sleep.
After mentally reciting the speech for tomorrow again, she closed her eyes and forced herself to sleep.
It was already the next day when I woke up.
The order of entry of the contestants from each school was determined by drawing lots before, and Shang Xia's playing time was not bad, and they would not be too far in line, so that they were too nervous to play, and they would not be too far behind, resulting in impatience or lack of confidence in being hit by the players in front.
Sitting in the audience, Shang Xia listened attentively, and the topics of everyone's speeches were basically around the study and life of high school, the world environment, and the current real-time news.
Seeing this situation, Shang Xia was even more sure in his heart.
When Shang Xia came to the stage, as soon as she spoke, she clearly saw that the eyes of the judges sitting in front of her were obviously bright.
There are too many similar topics, and they can't find new ideas, and their hearts are already a little tired.
And the theme of Shang Xia's speech is - women's rights.
She first made a good start with the famous saying "women can hold up half the sky", and then gave the example of Shang Xiaohe, and after some discussion, she came to the point of view - women can also choose the life they want, whether they choose to be housewives or career women, they should be respected.
After she stepped down after her speech, she almost became the focus of the audience.
Seeing this, Shang Xia couldn't help but sigh in his heart: Sister has two brushes!
"Mo Rou, you say, what's going on over there in Shang Xia?"
Towards the end of the afternoon tutoring, the group members began to lose their breath after completing the day's tasks.
Mo Rou shook her head, "Shang Xia hasn't called back yet, and the specific situation is still unclear." ”
Hearing Tang Tang say this, someone next to him added another sentence.
"Yes, yes, I really want to know what happened to her, the provincial high school students' English speaking competition, when I hear the name, I feel difficult, I really worry about her."
"Eh, I really want to give her my luck, begging her to come back with the first place, I don't want our study group to die like this."
Everyone said everything I said, and in the end, it all turned into a look of imminent disaster.
Mo Rou didn't know what to say for a while, so she looked at Lin Ran for help.
Seeing this, Lin Ran looked away from the tutoring plan, looked at them, and asked, "Did Shang Xia say anything to you before leaving?" ”
"Yes." Everyone said in unison.
"What did you say?"
Tang Tang thought for a moment and immediately responded, "She said let's take care of our own affairs." ”
"We seemed to have promised her at that time that we would be conscious."
The girl sitting next to Tang Tang said again.
"Since you have all agreed, then take care of your own affairs, no matter how much you worry now, it will be useless."
Lin Ran's tone was not heavy, but there was a kind of courage between his words, which was convincing.
Everyone didn't speak, just nodded in unison.
"Don't worry! Shang Xia will definitely come back with a first! You'll just have to wait and see! ”
Seeing that everyone's interest was not high, Lin Ran said categorically.
As soon as these words came out, someone immediately asked, "How do you know that she will definitely win the first place?" ”
"Because she knows that speaking is a weakness of students, she has always deliberately practiced it."
Lin Ran was able to draw conclusions based on his observations.
In English class, when the teacher asked her to get up and read the text, she was not picky about her timbre and fluency. I want to chat with more like-minded people about "{?$article_title?} ", WeChat pays attention to "excellent reading literature", chatting about life, looking for confidants~
